A Wet SW Dad’s Workout

/in /by

FNGs: Welcome FNK Calico
Warm Up:
Mosey near amphitheater SSH, mountain climbers, arm circles.
Dad’s carried water balloons, water guns, etc.
The Workout:
A game of tag was started that ended up as a beach ball toss while PAX filled up some buckets of water for water guns.
There wasn’t a lot of structure here, just making sure some 2.0’s had fun and moved around a little.
First up we did a game of water balloon toss. Partners were instructed to take a step back after a successful catch. This quickly turned into a free for all water balloon fight. YHC audibled and instructed 2.0s to make their way around the cement pad with a water balloon like an animal that was called then throw the balloon at a dad, then dad’s got a turn. We did several rounds of this until balloons were gone. PAX and 2.0s cleaned up balloon pieces while YHC anchored a tarp down on the hill for a make ship slip-n-slide complete with buckets of water and dish soap. This was a hit and kept 2.0s engaged until time was up. The highlight for the dad’s was watching Bolt try and dive on the tarp multiple times while standing about 5 feet back. This ended up with Bobby Boucher giving a little help and guiding Bolt to actually dive on the tarp. With all 2.0s and YHC covered in wet grass and soap we gathered up all supplies and headed to the water spigot by the bridge.
Mary:
Dads filled up buckets and dumped them on 2.0s to rinse off all the grass and soap until everyone was cleaned up. Then we headed back for COT at the tennis courts.
Announcements: See Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Good work by all in the rain.
Prayer:
New school year, COVID, travels, praise for new ripped jeans.

Everything but the Tire

/in /by

YHC took the Q at Prison Yard as part of his self-imposed accountability to get out a bunch this week because…I’m fully healthy again and the body is cooperating, so no excuses! Lots of toys on the Yard today sponsored by YHC, Breach, and Sprinkler and we got to touch just about everything. YHC had a different plan in mind originally, but about 2 mins. before warm-ups, I changed my mind to challenge the “you vs. you” factor. Right now, there’s a lot of items that can be used on the Yard…concrete slabs of different sizes, bricks, pipes, parking signs, steel rebar… they are apparently doing some renovations at Hilltop Needmore. If YHC had known or had enough time to survey, I would’ve told the guys to keep it in the trucks and use what’s here. 12 Strong HIM posted for a mostly quiet battle against the self at Prison Yard today.

FNG’s: No new transfers
Warm Up: SSH x 35 IC, Good Morning’s x15 IC, Sir Fazio’s x 10 IC F/R, Merkins x 22.
The Workout: 14 total stations, 12 of which were set to be 100 rep count stations. The other two were quasi obstacle course style using Farmer’s Carry w/tractor weights, heavy bag carry or Railroad Iron Press x 20, an agility challenge (either ladder or burpee cones) and 1-2’s with the hand weights.

The other 12 stations for 100 reps goal count were: 25 lb. plate Halos, 25 lb. plate Bus Drivers, 45 lb. dumbbell triceps extensions, 15 lb. steel mace warrior squat, 20 lb. kettlebell Midget Cookie Pouch, 25 lb. kettlebell snatches, 40 lb. kettlebell swings, Pain Stick Shoulder Press, Pain Stick Curls for the Girls, Fire Hose Squats, and Blockees.

We did not take accountability counts at the end, but YHC got 7 full-stations, with 75 reps at 2 others. So for next time we do this, remember what you did, and do just a little bit more. I will add that YHC did not do the blockees, which I think was the beast of all the stations most likely.
Mary: Put the toys back into vehicles.
Announcements: Q Swap at Carpex in 2 weeks. Still a spot open at Ragnarok. Carpex Q’s come to us next week…get ready!
T-Claps (Recognition): Thanks Breach and Sprinkler for providing lots of coupons to use today!
Prayer: Those addicted…lots of OD calls to EMS these days right here in our community. Fram and his daughter reading…a praise!!! YHC celebrates 19 years of marriage…it takes work! YHC took us out…great to be back in the circle!

I arrived quite a bit early for to put all the coupons out all over the walking trails.

FNG: Nope

Warm Up: We moseyed to the upper parking lot where we circled up. We did side-straddle hops, imperial walkers, hillbillies, merkins, frankenstiens.

Workout: We moseyed left out of the parking lot onto Shady Greens Drive. While running Breach spotted some fire hose. Continued to Brushy Meadows where we picked up a cinder block. Performed squats here. Turned left onto Brushy Meadows towards Hilltop Needmore Road. Made a left on the red trail where we did more exercises. Moseyed towards the PVA and we located a set of tractor weights. Each PAX alternated taking the coupons. We dropped all the goods off at my vehicle and Indian Run to the lower Red trail (Back 9). Once we made it all the way to the bottom we found a 16’ Treated 8×8.

The PAX paired up with 8×8 and did squats all the way up while the remainder did AB exercises. Once the exercises were completed IC to 15 they ran to the PAX with the 8×8. Rotated and rinsed and repeated 4 times from bottom to top. We did LBC, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Bearcrawls, Burpees and several more.

Mary: We did several stretching exercises.

Annoncements: Check social media

Prayers: Unspoken

We’re Official?

Came up to a discussion on firework watching strategy. FV Parks, parking spots, arrival times, road closures. Who knew it could be so complicated? A few PAX were undecided on the 3 mi option, but some light persuading and leading by example got all PAX on the 5 mi option during the split.  Great to finish as a full group!

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Dynamic stretching. Quads, Glutes, Calves, Hips
The Workout: Standard 3mi and 5mi option
Mary: Light stretching and heavy breathing
Announcements: Norm’s moving week, 1776 workout

Prayer: Family safety and all PAX  travelling

Teamwork at the Trot

/in /by

Warm-Up: A short jog around the park and followed by 22 reps of SSH, Windmills, Good mornings, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies, and Frankensteins.

The Workout: Pax split into 2 teams for some friendly competition

Round 1- Cenepdede bear crawls- The first team to reach the line gets to recover on the jog and the losing team does burpees- Team 1 conceded for modifying (10 burpees for all)

Round 2- Tunnel Rat- teams form a tunnel and the last guys have to crawl through- Team 2 was victorious, recover on the jog while team 1 did burpees

Round 3- Duck walk snake runs- guys from back stays in duck walk position while the rest of the team squats and snakes thorough. Team 1 was the winner- Team 1 recovered on the jog, while team 2 did burpees.

Freeze Tag, one tagger chases all the remaining pax members, if you get tagged you have to stay in place and do SSH until someone untags you
